Goes on bereavement list The Nationals Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post Garcia on the Bereavement list Saturday, Spencer reports.

Impact Garcia will now miss a minimum of three games, which would put his return during the Nationals' next home series against the Rockies. Across 56 outings this season, Garcia has recorded 11 holds with a 4.80 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 58:16 K:BB across 45 innings.

Collects second win Garcia (2-3) picked up the win Sunday over the Reds, walking one and striking out one in a scoreless eighth inning.

Impact The southpaw preserved a 2-2 tie in the top of the eighth and then got rewarded when rookie James Wood launched a three-run homer in the bottom of the frame. Garcia has been scored upon only once in his last 14 appearances dating back to June 16, delivering a 2.92 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB over 12.1 innings during that stretch while recording three holds and both his wins.

Taking on high-leverage role Garcia has posted a 4.68 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 47:11 K:BB through 32.2 innings with one win and 11 holds in 41 appearances.

Impact The 28-year-old southpaw's ratios on the season aren't impressive, but they disguise the improvements he's made of late. Garcia has been scored upon only once in his last 12 trips to the mound, delivering a 0.97 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB through 10.1 innings during that stretch. He's the only left-hander in the Nationals' bullpen at the moment, but Garcia is emerging as a reliable high-leverage option for manager Dave Martinez, which should lead to more holds in the second half.

Impact Garcia earned his first big-league call-up July 7 and spent a week and a half with the Marlins before losing his spot on the 26-man active roster. He retains a spot on the Marlins' 40-man roster and could be in store for another promotion before season's end if he continues to excel out of the Jacksonville bullpen. The 27-year-old lefty owns a 2.90 ERA and 61:22 K:BB in 40.1 innings on the season at Triple-A.

Impact Garcia has had a solid season in Jacksonville so far, putting up a 2.95 ERA and 1.41 WHIP with 54 strikeouts through 36.2 innings. The 27-year-old southpaw will be making his MLB debut when he gets into a game, and he could be in the mix for some high-leverage outings down the line if his impressive strikeout rate translates to the majors. Jeff Lindgren was designated for assignment to make room for Garcia on the 40-man roster.
